We´re headed to Buenos Aires tomorrow.

One of our housesitters, Richard, emailed us today to say that last Thursday night/Friday morning at 2:30 am, Bonnie started barking, calling Richard´s attention to a man who had opened our side gate and was standing at our French doors. He ran away when he saw Richard. Here´s what the Colorado Daily wrote about a bulglar in our neighborhood:

The string of burglaries began on Valentine's Day last month and are anchored in central and north Boulder. The suspect forces his way into homes by kicking in the front door or throwing a rock through a window and then unlocking it to get in.“He's taking things, but he's not taking large items,” said Boulder Police spokeswoman Julie Brooks on Monday. “In some cases, owners haven't been able to ID what is taken until later on when they notice it's missing.”

Brooks said the burglaries are of concern to police not just because of the loss of property, but because this particular burglar is willing to use violent measures to break into locked houses.“It's hard to predict what this person might do when confronted or when he gets in,” Brooks said. “His victims did everything right: they locked their doors and secured their residences.”

But they didn´t have Miss Bonnie on the beat!!
